Abstract
/visible system showed remarkable degradation efficiency over a wide pH range (3.3-10.8), which was superior to that of the traditional Fenton system. In addition, the degradation efficiency of RhB was found to remain at 94.7% after five cycles. This work is expected to provide an important approach for the application of the Fenton system.
